Hi,

I could already see that many schools are providing compulsory periods and time for extra curricular activities. But, we can notice that in most of the Indian schools, it is 90% studies and 10% of extra curricular activities or sometimes 80% studies and 20% will be the time allotted for extra curricular activities. And I've even seen kids sitting and studying during PT periods for the test conducted the next period. So, I think extra curricular activities can be made optional and kids who are really interested in sports or arts must be encouraged to pursue that instead of studies. For them it should be 80% sports or arts and 20% studies.

Some students will always be interested to study. They should be encouraged to continue studies 90% and allowed to do other activities for 10% of the time. The behavior, interest and activities of students have to be monitored since their childhood and proper coaching have to be provided to them in whatsoever they might be interested.

Schools rather than pushing the students to master in all at once should make them choose their area of interest and guide them to master in one particular field at once. In India, there are many students who are really interested in sports, but who don't have guidance to purse them. These should change as soon as possible and this change can be made only by the schools.

So extra curricular activities rather than being compulsory in all schools should be optional up to the students choice and encouragement have to be given for both the students who want to master in studies and also for those who want to master in other fields.

For bringing about a major change in India, simply making extra curricular activities as compulsory one in schools will not be the solution. And as I stated earlier this is already been adopted by many schools but there are no effects of such in student's success in activities other than studies. So, a different approach has to be followed in order to achieve real success.

I firmly believe that extra curricular activities should be a part of a child's daily curriculum. The human brain tends to lose interest while focusing on only technical knowledge resulting in decreased output of the individual.

These extra curricular activities not only help in diverting the child's mind from a monotonous study schedule but also increases the creativity of the child. Not all children are born doctors and engineers. Many are born as artists, musicians etc. They can explore their creative sides after indulging in these co-curricular activities.

Rightly said, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"!

Yes, I agree on this topic because extracurricular activities are to be compulsory in school because it's the school which the main root for education along with education school should also provide students with some extracurricular activities. Each and every student must know something apart from studies too, those activities will be helpful for students in their future like communication, mixing up with peoples, will develop team spirit, Development in personality and many more. So each and every school should take this initiative and also inspire students for this.

The name or the topic is not correct because these activities are not extra. They are the part and partial of life.

Today's generation has become advanced in technical grounds but is not able to express out their internal abilities due to various reasons:.

1. Work pressure.
2. Less time to devote.
3. Not willing or not interested.

And various reasons.

Extra curricular activities give us the platform to prove ourselves which we shouldn't lose.

This shows us that- " we should have an endless hope, not a hopeless end".

Thank you.

Yes, extracurricular activities be a part of our daily life and mandatory.

Mostly school children may stress after attending the school, schools should provide some time to play those students but nowadays in schools should not provide even ground to the children because they construct their schools small scale places than where the students will play so every student having their own talent not only education we must need extracurricular.

Schools should provide marks to their extracurricular, then students show their interest where they will succeed their life and give some suggestions also.

Yes, I support this topic. Extracurricular activities are a force multiplier. Such activities play a catalytic role in achieving success. Extracurricular activities enhance physical stamina, boost up social behaviour and broaden the outlook. Qualities like team spirit, self-discipline and sensitivity towards duties are obtained only through extracurricular activities.

Definitely. Extracurricular activities should be made compulsory in schooling life as we know in a class only few students are toppers that don't mean that the students who are not toppers are nothing in their life. Who knows that the student who is not good in study may have some hidden potential in him. We know that there are many peoples who are even the CEO's of company at very young age. So to bring out hidden potential of such students extracurricular activities are needed.

Hello, from my point of view,

1. Extracurricular activities should be compulsory because it is a medium and powerful tool which gives an opportunity in other fields like Sports, Dance, singing, etc.

2. Through Extra curricular activities student is able to learn various skills like Managerial skills, Leadership skills, Teamwork skills.

3. Extra curricular activities provide a stage or platform in various TV. Shows.

Conclusions:

Apart from studies, Extra curricular activities must be necessary.

Hello dears,

I am gonna specific as much as I can.

Extra curricular activities should be Made compulsory but not during exam/Study period.

As if extra curricular activities and studies both comes together than that may create pressure on student life as we are taking about making it compulsory.

But it is Must and program should be designed in a way that student can participate with their full potential and effort.

A School class generally runs for 12 months, Extra curricular activities should be availed to student in first few months then on they should focus on studies.

So extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school for their bright future keeping in consideration that it doesn't effect a student studies.

Thank you.
